As an international active and renowned manufacturer, supplier and service provider of measuring systems for the non-contact determination of various process parameters (e.g. density and humidity) mainly in bulk goods (e.g. coal, potassium salt) by means of different physical measuring principles, we have an extensive range of products.
The products have been designed and developed to be used in numerous applications.
NECON 21 is a processor-controlled micro computer for calculating the moisture in bulk goods and solids in combination with a neutron radiation source and the corresponding detector.
By choosing a suitable detector for 2π or 4π geometry, the device can be optimized for the measurement task.
The calibration provides a moisture value in percent [%]. The internal calibration table stores up to 20 reference values.
All inputs and outputs are floating and protected against reverse polarity. The humidity value is also available as a current signal (0 / 4-20mA) with 10 bit accuracy (better than 0.5%).
The scaling of the output current can be freely defined.
In addition to the microwave measuring section, a distance measurement with ultrasound is used as a "light barrier"
The raw data of the microwave sensor measuring section are processed by the evaluation computer; the measurement result is the percentage moisture in the measured material.
The measured value can be transmitted to other evaluation devices via an analog current output (0 / 4-20mA).

Moisture probe FD 50 consists of a detector for thermal (“slow”) neutrons and a radiation source that emits fast neutrons, which are preferably slowed down or “moderated” by water, more precisely by hydrogen.
The number of slow neutrons detected by the detector is therefore a measure of the water content of the sample.
A calibration is necessary before the first commissioning provides the coefficients for calculating the moisture as a function of the neutron count rate of the detector, which also compensates for environmental and sample-dependent effects.
The moisture is measured continuously. The measured value is a moving average over a selectable averaging time, which represents a compromise between good accuracy (long averaging time) and the time resolution of the signal (short averaging time) and can therefore be individually adjusted for the respective measurement task.
